Data for the stress update assessment in large-deformation finite element analysis

: During a research work about stress integration schemes for large-deformation finite element analysis many datasets are collected from both numerical and analytical models. The corresponding numerical data (stress and displacements) are computed by means of different finite element formulations including the well-established stress update schemes employed by the major commercial software packages. To this purpose a suitable finite element code, capable of easily switching the different methods, is implemented. Accordingly, the data computed for three stress integration tests allowing analytical solution in the case of linear material are presented. The comparison of all the predictions from the various methods allows the choice of the most accurate model in predicting displacement and related stress. In addition, the data may be reused as starting point in the development of new stress integration strategies, as a reference comparison to understand the behaviour of the standard methods.
